Subaru Forester
The Forester compact SUV features one of the most efficient all-wheel drive systems on the market. This system is paired with a 2.5L horizontally opposed engine. The naturally aspirated version produces 170 horsepower while the turbo generates 220 horsepower. Given its car-like handling and superior assembly, this model is dearly loved by its drivers. A complete overhaul, however, is imminent.
